TONT 39933 武术登录图片

功夫再好，也怕键盘侠。

Along the lines of Windows as Rorschach test, here’s an example of someone attributing malicious behavior to randomness.

除了之前提到过的把Windows当作罗夏墨迹测试之外，这里还有另一个把随便什么东西跟蓄意行为关联起来的例子。

Among the logon pictures that come with Windows XP is a martial arts kick. I remember one bug we got that went something like this:

在Windows XP内置的一系列登录图片中，有一张武师做踢腿动作的图片。我记得有人提交了一个bug，大体上是这么说的：

“Windows XP is racist. It put a picture of a kung fu fighter next to my name – just because my name is Chinese. This is an insult!”

『Windows XP在搞种族主义，在我的名字旁边放了张功夫小子的图片——就因为我的名字是中文的，这可太侮辱人了！』（译注：谁那么二……）

The initial user picture is chosen at random from among the pictures in the “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures” directory. It just so happened that the random number generator picked the martial arts kick out of the 21 available pictures.

初始用户图片是在『%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures』这个目录里随机选取的，会发生上面这种情况，只是因为随机数发生器恰巧选中了那21张章图片中武师踢腿动作图片的编号而已。

I’m also frustrated by people who find quirks in spellcheckers and attribute malicious intent to them. You know what I’m talking about. “Go to Word and type in <some name that’s not in the dictionary> and tell it to spellcheck. Word will flag the word and recommend <some other word that is somehow opposite to the first word in meaning> instead. This is an insult! Microsoft intentionally taught the spellchecker to suggest <that word> when you type <this word>. This is clear proof of <some bad thing>.”

还有就是，我对人们在拼写检查功能里找到奇怪的行为、然后硬给它扣一个蓄意行为的大帽子这种事也感到很沮丧，你大概能理解我所说的这种事的含义。『打开Word，随便敲点<不在拼写检查词典中的单词>，然后调用拼写检查功能，Word会把这个词标出来，并推荐<某个不知为何、与第一个单词意思正好相反了的单词>的修订意见，怎么会有这种事情！微软肯定是故意教给拼写检查功能当你录入<这个词>时建议<那个词>，这就是<某些恶贯满盈的事情>最好的证据』。

More on spell checking tomorrow.

明天我们再来多说点关于拼写检查的故事。
